In this episode, we discuss the Stratford Festival's current modern dress production of Coriolanus directed by Robert Lepage. Québécois director and set designer Robert Lepage makes his Stratford debut this year with a modern dress production of Coriolanus. André Sills stars as Coriolanus and Stratford Grand Dame Lucy Peacock plays Volumnia. Known for mixing film elements (through projections) with theatre, Lepage creates a series of stunning backdrops and sets to make the settings feel almost as real as if it were film. There's a lot of stage magic involved that's an impressive achievement. Part one of this episode focuses on Lepage's design for the production, the world he creates, and how he uses projections.For detailed production notes, visit: https://21stfolio.com/2018/08/17/robert-lepage-coriolanus-stratford/-----CREDITSHost: Alex Heeney, Editor-in-Chief of Seventh Row (@bwestcineaste)Guests: Mary Angela Rowe, Editor at Large of Seventh Row (@lapsedvictorian) and Craig Ruttan (@crut)Sound Recordist and Editor: Cam White (@JediDusk)Find us online at http://21stfolio.comFollow the 21st Folio on Twitter @21stFolio.
